Work & Rewards?

 There was a hive of industry going on at group today.

 Diane was stitching the binding on a quilt she has just machine quilted.

 She quilted each block as a separate item. She found this was less daunting than tackling the quilt as a whole.

Worked out well for a first attempt eh?

 Eileen was working on another block from the Patchwork & Quilting magazine Block of the Month programme.

Very pretty flowers

We had another couple of blocks to add to our Christmas quilt.

Love the 3D holly leaves

And the cute snowman

Now amidst all this stitching there was rather a lot of this going on. (have cropped the picture to avoid the embarrassment of the riot to get to them).

But they were worth the bun fight!

love the Walnut Whip ones!

Ena was working on her Back to Basics block.The lovely appliqué flower design came from some wallpaper.

And Angie had finished one of her blocks made at a workshop at her local quilt shop. The design idea comes from the Baptistery window in Coventry Cathedral. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.

Betty had a unusual bag that she brings her mug to group  - haven't seen that before!

And Ellen has finished a beautiful smocked pin cushion bit bag (there must be a prettier name for this?)  Chatelaine complete with embroidered roses. This was also done at a workshop with the lovely Jo. I know that Ellen is thrilled with this, and so she should be.

 

Note the bandaged finger! Whose is that I wonder?

 So maybe all the hard work did deserve the treats, what do you think?

Don't forget that its Round Robin day on Wednesday


Had a visitor from North Vancouver today. Is it you Mrs L?
